Purple Suede

Um, I picked them up from the Post Office...then sat in my car and laced them up and put them on. I was about half a second late to class. Breakfast? Psh. Hell no.

I love suede.
I love purple.
I REALLY love purple suede.

Saul Williams

So the day started off by me getting a new amp...





Then I got Crunk, quite literally.



Then tonight I got to see Saul Williams live...





He signed my copy of "The Seventh Octave".



I also got a picture with him, but the guy who took my picture managed to focus on everything but the two people standing right in front of him.

Overall, an outstanding day.

Rumored White/Red XII Release

via KicksOnFire.com:

"Along with the Black/Red XIIs that are scheduled to release this Fall, JB will also be releasing this white / red color scheme. For those of you that don’t know, they were originally rumored to be part of the Air Jordan 11 / Air Jordan 12 Countdown Pack and many fanatics were upset when they found out that it was untrue. But thankfully you can put those bad feelings aside as JB will make many sneaker heads happy by releasing them."



This is going to be a big step for JB if they pull it off just right. Quality needs to be top notch. This release could easily make or break the future of JB as we know it. This is the ONLY colorway of the XIIs that hasn't been retroed since their original release in 1996/1997.

I personally have my own pair of OG (original) White/Red XIIs. The gem of my collection, for sure as well as my first pair of Jordans ever. :)




Supra's set to release these and I'm kinda surprised at how un-trashy these are. They're actually kinda classy, yet casual. I'm excited.

Sold, as of today, for $60 shipped...

my original brand new in box Air Force Vs. So long, my vintage friends.

Way Too Long

I didn't even realize it'd been so long since I posted in here. Oops.

I've been busy with tests and work and starting violin lessons and--a lot of stuff, really.

I worked all of Valentine's Day weekend and another boy got to take out my girlfriend. :/

I did set her up with a pretty decent gift, though. We'll have to wait a little longer to see what she thinks, though.



My parents went to visit my Aunt in Dallas this week. This is the house I grew up in. I believe we may have planted that tree when it was much much much smaller when we were living there. The window to the left of the front door was my room.

Here's some fun new stuff:






Stupid Jeep...







Today is going to be a long day. I have a lot to get done today.

Went out to this little underground karaoke bar/pool hall on Printer's Alley in downtown Nashville with m friend Maria. Wish I'd brought my camera.

Work again tonight and hopefully something fun tonight.

I work lunch tomorrow on Super Bowl Sunday. Hopefully a good time to make some serious money.

Coraline?

Because I know that there's at least one cute girl reading this, I decided to feature these for a minute.

via KicksOnFire.com

"A special edition of the Coraline Dunk is predicted to be one of the most unique special editions ever created. The shoes were based on the book Coraline by author Neil Gaiman. These shoes feature a rare hand sewn black visible seam complete with cat and mouse lace locks and tails to match. Supposedly only about 1000 pairs are going to be released, some of which will be given away through watching the movie and visiting the website. Movie Director Henry Selick was responsible for the design of the large oversize buttons which will be featured on only 100 pairs and 50 boxes to be sold will contain actual real-life props from the movie including cotton candy. The shoes will be sold in a creative circus-themed box. As if all this extravaganza weren’t enough, the shoes will have glow in the dark outsoles to top off the wacky look. The movie Coraline is set to open in theatres February 6th and we are predicting these shoes to drop around the same time. Via Freshness."







Look! The sole glows in the dark!
